“It’s only one yard” – AJ Brown on the potential Tush Push ban

Love it. Let everyone cry about a 1-yard play because they can’t stop it. Don’t get me wrong, even attempting to ban the Tush Push is complete and utter bullshit but at the same time, AJ Brown delivered the perfect nonchalant response to the entire debate, basically telling everyone they are soft and crying over absolutely nothing.

The war on the Tush Push might finally hit its tipping point.

NFL owners are set to vote this week on a revised proposal that could officially ban the controversial play made famous by the Eagles. Previous attempts to outlaw it fell short, momentum is reportedly building for the rule change ahead of the spring owners meetings in Minneapolis.

NFL Owners could finally kill the Tush Push this week due to new, revised language

The (crybaby) Green Bay Packers first introduced the formal proposal back in March, targeting the Eagles’ signature short-yardage sledgehammer by seeking to ban the act of “pushing a teammate who received the snap directly behind the center.” The penalty would be 10 yards. But owners were split, and the vote was postponed.

Now, according to The Washington Post, the language is being revised onsite to ban any pushing or pulling of a ball carrier by a teammate—anywhere on the field. That change could eliminate loopholes and broaden the rule’s reach far beyond just the quarterback sneak.

According to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, the broader language might finally get the 24 votes needed to pass. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is reportedly not a fan of the play and could sway undecided owners behind the scenes.

The anti-tush push crowd continues to cite injury risk, despite no real data backing it up. Others argue that it’s simply too effective and eliminates drama from short-yardage moments. Translation: they don’t like that the Eagles have mastered something they can’t stop.

Let’s call it what it is—this is a direct response to Philadelphia building a better mousetrap. Rather than build their own, other teams want to burn the whole trap down.

If the rule passes, it won’t just impact the Eagles. It will change the landscape of short-yardage football across the league. But make no mistake, this is about Jalen Hurts, the Eagles’ All-Pro offensive line, and the play that turned 3rd-and-1 into a coin toss for six.

We’ll find out soon if the NFL’s most unstoppable play just met its match—not on the field, but behind closed doors in a Minneapolis conference room. I just hope everyone remembers what AJ Brown.

It’s literally just one yard.
